Re:Why use something the creators barly use? (Score 1)

I've been using the IBM openclient for for e-business since the 1.0 pre-release. Most of my more technically adept coworkers have been as well. As of this writing we're at version 1.2. I haven't done any reinstallation of the operating system. This is just rpm upgrades over a period of maybe 2 years. I don't know that the 5% is accurate, and while I can't confirm that there are 16,000 of us on it yet, I can confirm that it is working, and I see no reason why it won't continue to work. Of everything that I need to accomplish as an IBM employee, nothing besides development and testing of IBM software in a windows environment, specifically requires the use of windows. I'm quite happy with the openclient.
